Is it me, or is Google making Material Design worse just to push their branding into it, thus making the idea that Android is a Google product stronger? https://medium.com/@helloVRGSoft/material-design-2-on-android-p-da9990cff91c

Further looking into it: Chrome is also going to push this "Material Design 2" into it, and it does feel like Google pushing their branding into Material, instead of them applying Material into their branding https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=822069#c12

And finally, remember that Android Wear is now called "Wear OS by Google". I believe Google is now thinking of Android, or at least AOSP, as "Pixel OS by Google". I wouldn't trust Android P and upper as well as the new Chromium as this trend only seems to be increasing.

@espectalll and than there is Google Fuchsia which is intended to replace Android and Linux as a kernel for this OS

@GeekDaddy I'm not sure if your statement makes sense tbh, but yeah, Fuchsia has its own kernel, APIs and a Flutter-based interface. The low-level stuff is overall very nice but it's still getting Google branding and features all around.
